PICS Summit: The Impact Model is not a passive conference.

It is the answer to a few different questions.

How are we helping this particular population? How are we addressing Post-Incarceration Syndrome at Impact? How can we do more?

Every day at Impact, we work with men and women returning from incarceration who are navigating trauma, addiction, stigma, and systems that were not built for their success. PICS is real. The barriers are real. The need for coordinated, thoughtful response is real.

This two day summit brings providers, leaders, policymakers, and community partners into one room to ask the hard question and share real solutions.

If you work in behavioral health, reentry, housing, public safety, workforce development, or community services, this conversation belongs to you.

Join us at the Long Beach Hyatt Regency Hotel for this amazing two-day summit. Join us as we present The Impact Model.

Yesterday at the Impact 5K: Dash Thru the 80s something special happened.

More than 500 people showed up to a park not just to run, walk, or dress in neon and laugh together… but to stand for something bigger than themselves.

You showed up for hope. You showed up for recovery. You showed up for the men and women fighting every day to rebuild their lives.

To Representative Judy Chu, thank you for recognizing Impact’s work and for standing with our community. Your support reminds our clients that their recovery matters far beyond just our doors.

To Megan Holiday thank you for bringing your voice, your heart, and your energy to this mission. You helped share a message that recovery is real and that no one has to walk this road alone.

To The Skinny Ties, thank you for making sure that anyone that wasn't running was busy dancing.

And a huge thank you to the Pasadena Police Department and Pasadena Fire Department for helping to keep us and our amazing community protected.

To every runner, volunteer, sponsor, staff member, and supporter:

You didn’t just participate in a 5K.

You helped create a real moment in the lives of people who need to know that help exists, that community exists, and that their future is worth fighting for.

Yesterday was a reminder that when a community comes together, hope gets louder.

From all of us at Impact...
..thank you for helping us elevate hope and change lives.

Two weeks until we meet at the starting line.

Two weeks until the music’s playing, kids are laughing, and the trail fills up with people who believe in second chances.

The Impact 5K: Dash Thru the 80s isn’t just a run. It’s a reminder that recovery looks like movement. Like showing up. Like doing hard things together.

Bring your friends.
Bring your kids.
Walk it. Jog it. Run it. Stroll it.

This one is family friendly, beginner friendly, and full of heart.

Every step supports the work of Impact Drug & Alcohol Treatment Center and the people rebuilding their lives through recovery.

Let’s pack the trail with love and neon.

This isn’t a treadmill run.
This isn’t a flat sidewalk jog.

This is a trail.

Rocks under your feet.
Turns you didn’t see coming.
Moments where you slow down, catch your breath, and keep going anyway.

Kind of like recovery.

The Impact 5K: Dash Thru the 80s takes you through the natural beauty of Hahamongna Park, along real trails, real terrain, and real work. The kind that reminds you that strength is built step by step.

Because recovery isn’t smooth or easy.
It’s messy. It’s uphill. It’s worth it.
And it’s beautiful when you look back and see how far you’ve come.

Come ready to run.
Come ready to sweat.
Come ready to celebrate every hard earned step.

Let’s hit the trail together.

There is always a moment before the step forward.
A breath.
A decision.

A line in the sand where you quietly say,
"Enough. I want something better."

That is what the starting line is.

Not the finish.
Not perfection.
Just the choice to move.

Recovery is the same way. You cross over into something new. Freedom. Health. A life you never thought that you could have.

And here is the thing. Nobody runs it alone.

At Impact Drug & Alcohol Treatment Center, when someone stumbles, we reach down and help them back up. Every day. Every client. Every mile.

When you sign up for the Impact 5K, you are not just running a race.

You are supporting the hands that pick people up.

So lace up. Show up. Stand with us at that line.

February 22
We start together.

Tonight was a special one for us.

At the invitation of Pasadena Police Chief Eugene Harris, Impact had the opportunity to speak at the Pasadena City Council meeting and share our appreciation for the Impact Alliance and the partnership we’ve built together.

Recovery does not happen in isolation. It takes a community. It takes leaders who are willing to listen. It takes courage on every side of the table.

We are grateful to stand alongside our city, our law enforcement partners, and our neighbors with one shared goal. A safer, healthier Pasadena where people get second chances and real support to rebuild their lives.

This is what collaboration looks like. And we are just getting started.
